Description:

The Astro.Geekjoy Deepsky Atlas features over 500 of the finest and brightest galaxies, clusters and nebulae visible from the northern hemisphere. Each is carefully indexed to allow observers to log observation data. Entries include a reference to the smallest telescope providing a satisfying view through clear, dark skies.

Author Jeff Barbour (of Astro.Geekjoy.Com) has also included several insightful articles covering all aspects of observing the deep heavens - from telescope selection to a retrospective on the Messier, Herschel and Dreyer catalogs amateurs turn to most today.

If you're serious about observing the many luminous denizens of the night sky that even a small telescope can reveal, Astro.Geekjoy's Deep Sky Atlas is the complete starter kit for blazing your own trail across the heavens.
